The shark analogy is pretty bad math. It actually demonstrates the point you go on to make later, that twisting statistics without context allows you to say just about anything you want it to. For one, the stunningly low probability you arrive at for shark attack is inaccurate if viewed without proper context. There are numerous... infinitely more vending machines than sharks in the city, and far more dogs too. There are also more cars. The probability of a shark attack would be vastly higher if you only looked at people who happened to be at the beach. It would be astronomically higher if you only took into account swimmers who happen to see a shark. Using stats in this way to reduce our worries is fine but we shouldn't use them to reduce credible threats to below the risk of a falling vending machine should we be in a position to be exposed to them Also the probability of death on a motorcycle is certainly higher than that of a car, unless you're not accounting for the fact that there are many many more drivers than riders... And I'm fairly certain that if the chances of death in car was 1% every time you drive, nobody would want to drive at all... You'd clock 200 trips a year easy, making 1%a virtual certainly Obviously the probability of a plane crash is low per trip. Just as the probability of a car crash is also low... PER TRIP. If you're comparing probability of death per flight with probability of death for the average driver who logs hundreds of trips a year for his lifetime... I'd say you're an airplane rep trying to sell flight tickets
My favorite paradox is the Astley paradox. If you ask Rick Astley for his copy of the movie "Up", he can't give it to you because he will never give you up. However, in doing so, he lets you down. Thus creating the Astley paradox.
One paradox I believe in is when you're a good driver but then a police car gets behind you and that makes you nervous and drive poorly, then you get pulled over because you were nervous about getting pulled over.
I’ve always wondered when people talk about the odds of being eaten by a shark… are they taking into account only the people that swim in the ocean or are they counting everyone in the world? Because I would imagine those are two VERY different statistics.
Same i also wonder with the "you're more likely to die in a car accident vs plane" probably has something to do with the fact so many more people are driving on a daily basis than flying.
@@hirsutuscanis well there’s over 100k flights a day. While it’s nowhere near as many drivers, there’s still a significant number of reasons why it’s safer. *Regulation and Standards:* The aviation industry is highly regulated, with strict safety standards set by aviation authorities. This ensures that aircraft, pilots, maintenance procedures, and airlines all adhere to rigorous safety protocols. *Pilot Training and Experience:* Pilots undergo extensive training and simulations before they can operate commercial flights. They are trained to handle a wide range of situations, and their experience contributes to safe decision-making in complex scenarios. *Maintenance:* Aircraft maintenance is meticulous and routine. Planes undergo regular inspections, repairs, and upgrades to ensure they remain in top condition. Strict maintenance schedules help identify and rectify potential issues before they become problems. *Air Traffic Control:* Air traffic controllers manage and guide flights, ensuring safe separation and efficient routing of aircraft. This minimizes the risk of collisions and helps pilots navigate safely. *Advanced Technology:* Aircraft are equipped with advanced navigation, communication, and safety systems that enhance situational awareness and aid in safe operations. These technologies are continuously evolving to further improve safety. *Learning from Accidents:* The aviation industry closely studies accidents and incidents to identify root causes and implement corrective measures. This culture of learning from mistakes helps prevent similar issues in the future. *Risk Management:* Airlines and aviation authorities actively manage risks associated with flying. This includes factors like weather, maintenance, pilot fatigue, and security. Procedures and protocols are in place to mitigate these risks. *Crew Resource Management:* Flight crews are trained in effective communication and teamwork, which are crucial for handling emergencies and unexpected situations. *Inherent Nature of Flight:* Flying at higher altitudes reduces the risk of collisions with obstacles, pedestrians, or other vehicles that can occur on roads. Additionally, the controlled environment of airports and airspaces contributes to safety. Despite all this, I’m still scared of flying lol.
I used to work in a hospital as a care assistant. Towards the end of the covid pandemic i took care of a polish man who was 102 years old at the time, luckily he escaped poland a few weeks before the nazis occupied his home town he ended up in England and found work as an air craft maintenance engineer he asked if he could learn to fly a plane and his request was granted and eventually he ended up flying combat sorties over the channel, on his last sortie his plane was hit and began leaking fuel but luckily did not catch fire he had to ditch in the English channel but again luckily he was close enough to the shore that he was able to make it back and a local family who seen his plane go down from the beach ran to help him, very lucky guy, and at the age of 102 he walked with out a stick, could tie shoe laces could hear fine and only needed glasses for reading and managed to shrug off covid-19 with no need for oxygen therapy or anti virals i think he must be the luckiest guy i have ever met

My daughter went to Montessori elementary and they taught that instead of having a huge corner of toys or a room of toys for your child you should bring out 4 at a time for a few days and then rotate with another 4. It really works!… your child will play with them rather than letting them collect dust because of too many choices where it cancels all of them out👍🏼🌎☀️💙
This is so peaceful to me for some reason. Honestly I’ve been listening to this on and off over the last few days. I listen while I’m taking a quick nap during my busy schedule. For some reason, it calms me down. It grounds me. I’m not sure the meaning of life. When I was a teenager I would have said Jesus. As a 31 year old man I don’t really have an answer anymore. Not knowing is scary and grounding all at the same time. And knowing other people feel like me is also comforting. Anyway. Thanks.
There is a fallacy early on in this video whereby it talks about sharks and the statistics of there being more chances of being killed by a dog but we keep them around etc and how this equals to how we are irrational creatures, not at all, this is a fallacy, let me explain. It is absolutely crucial to look at exposure time to humans of the said species and than compare the number of attacks. we will quickly see the total human exposure to sharks vs dogs is 100 percent land slide win for dogs and than compare the number of attacks within that time and you will quickly find sharks are significantly more prone to attacks.

One of the first realizations that hit me young was my mortality. My life was finite. I had my first existential crisis when I was 3. I didn't want to waste one second yet everything felt like a waste of time. I cried in school because I was wasting my life. I didn't want to work. I couldn't stand waiting or being patient. I always multitasked. I never wanted to delay gratification or be anything when I grew up. I've never been happy because my life is limited. Nothing has ever been worth work or effort. I never related to anyone. Just lived my life in a panic. It's unfortunate that my life has been pretty crappy ever since I knew I would die. I've never been able to really live.
oooh, such a good one. Re-late. Precocious spiritual insight can often have these results in the cultural milieu which hides from death, and rewards the cult of bizzy.
This is based in fear of death, as if death is final. Embrace the afterlife and when the time comes, embrace the experience of death. In the meantime, relax and enjoy the day to day experience of life and focus on loving the people around you. It's that simple
The only thing irrational about the average persons fear of the government is that it’s not proportional to the danger they actually pose to you. If being rational is important to you then you’re going to need to increase your level of fear to a crippling level
"The odds are always low but never zero." One minute later : "Well since there are around 2000 billionaires, the odds of you becoming one is... Non existent." Damn, you don't have to do my self esteem like that.
You can fit 1 million US dollars in hundred dollar bills in a duffle bag weighing around 25lbs. Hearing young people say they wanna be a billionaire shows how disconnected we have become as a species. Completely out of balance with nature and spirituality. Love is real. Money only represents debt. For one to have so much only means so many more people are in debt they will never dig themselves out from. A certain story talks about someone dying for our sins when he actually dies because he called for the money exchangers to be ousted from society. The probability of the translation from Aramaic to English...who really knows? Once again about anything we are told except that love is real.

Fun fact about the 1:225 odds of writing a best seller; authors often buy a big amount of their own books as a marketing strategy in order to get labeled as a best seller.
I see your comment, and it has been roughly 8 months since it was posted. I just wanted to say, I hope you are doing better, and that this time passing has not got you down. You are in my thoughts, and I wish you well!
The odds of certain things happening to you depend on contributing factors. In the instance of being struck 7 times by lightning the likelihood for the average person is quite low but in the instance of the guy who was struck 7 times there were factors that made it much more likely. He had a job that had him working in open fields in an area where lightening storms are more prevalent. When it comes to shark attacks the odds are again quite low but if you’re an abalone diver or a surfer who surfs at a beach without shark nets and is the habitat known for sharks, such as Cottlesloe Beach Western Australia, the odds skyrocket. It all depends on the location and the frequency of exposure to danger with the likelihood occurring. It’s how insurance companies come up with the cost of premiums and how risk assessments are done in risk management.
that i think tells for some of it, but definitely not all. you could predict a lot with numbers and statistics. but i never much cared for statistics in school, that’s all they are, statistics. sure if u swim in the ocean u have a higher likelihood to get eaten by a shark i guess, but i’ve lived at the beach my whole life and never met a soul who has. some things can be concluded about being in the wrong place could make you more likely to get struck by lighting or eaten by a shark, but within that there’s so mathematical stability, no predictability.
Yes of course but I think the odds are mostly taking into account the fact that most likely anything else can happen then being attacked by a shark, bc for instance think about all the kids in the Midwest inner cities. A lot would most likely never die or be attacked by a shark orrr say plane crash bc they almost never leave their home town. Not to travel or ever even see the ocean. If that makes sense lol? I could be wrong but that’s my make of it
This video made me feel great and also tiny at the same time. Everything feels less important when you really think about it. Best subscription on TH-cam for a long time. Keep it up!
Feeling insignificant than feeling good about that sounds irrational. In what world is no purpose for our suffering a good thing. In your world view, you live and die for nothing. Sounds like paradise. Lol
@slm8263 Not true at all. You don't disappear when you die. That is an assumption athiests make. You either go to heaven or the other place. God exists whether you believe it or not. And there's evidence. If you want the evidence, look it up. Or ask me.

There was a waterfall near us, such a lovely thin streak of water, like a thread but white and moving. It fell from a great height, but it looked quite low, and it was half a mile away, though it did not seem fifty paces. I loved to listen to it at night, but it was then that I became so restless. Sometimes I went and climbed the mountain and stood there in the midst of the tall pines, all alone in the terrible silence, with our little village in the distance, and the sky so blue, and the sun so bright, and an old ruined castle on the mountain-side, far away. I used to watch the line where earth and sky met, and longed to go and seek there the key of all mysteries, thinking that I might find there a new life, perhaps some great city where life should be grander and richer--and then it struck me that life may be grand enough even in a prison.
This video motivates me to keep doing what brings me joy with every breath. Being kind, while brutally transparent is what freedom feels like. I am extremely lucky to be in this life I've been given/created for myself. My family, friends, and partner are not "perfect." Neither am I. It's a beautiful thing to finally be on the other side of depression. All the clichés about knowing yourself first are true. But we are constantly adjusting and revising ourselves. I try to give myself and others more grace because none of us are finished products. Most things are subjective. So figure out what you care about, rather than following another person's beliefs. Look for the common thread in your joyful moments.
For Those People Who Say "I Want Aperture To Upload More" To That I Say, "Quality Over Quantity" Cause if you see this very often, not edited very well it wouldn't last. You Would Get Bored And Forget About This. However an upload in a month that is fantastic written and edited is going to cause need, and you would be waiting for another video. If you understand what I'm trying to say, Basically I'm Telling You, Yes You Right There. Love Every Second. ❤ And Love your self.
People just want more of that quality. There’s nothing wrong with that. They haven’t said, “Hey, Aperture, please slop out many more scripts and make slopped out videos from them with sloppy editing.” It’s all a matter of people craving more of the quality that you speak of, not just quantity from Aperture just to have more from him to watch. Wanting more definitely doesn’t mean any one of us wants just anything in video form that has “Aperture” stamped on it. It’s the quality we want more of; not the quantity.
When you are observing someone in secret, dont look directly at them until shortly before you intend to take action. Look slightly to the side of them so you can still see them, but they are out of your focal point. If you look directly at someone, they will notice they are being watched. This applies to animals as well.
Loved this. Reminded me intensely of The Way of the Peaceful Warrior which was my favorite book as a kid. The "House Rules" were Paradox, Humor, and Change. Thank you for making a wonderful video.😊
Our fears of something are rational though, for instance, in the video you said you’re more likely to get killed by a dog than you are a shark, but that’s because the ratio of humans around dogs and humans around sharks are drastically different. Ratios have many factors, you’re only considering one side.
You’re misunderstanding statistics and probabilities. So say you have 1 in 100 chance of dying to a bee sting. That doesn’t mean there is a 1 in 100 chance of dying to a bee sting during your daily life. That’s out of 100 bee stings, an average of 1 will typically kill you. I don’t feel like getting the exact numbers he used but if he said you have a 1/10 chance to die by dog and a 1/100 chance to die by shark, that doesn’t mean you’re more likely to die by a dog during your day to day life. That means if you were attacked by a dog, one out of every 10 attacks has a chance to kill you. For the sharks it would be 1/100 attacks would kill you. By default the statists are excluding people who don’t encounter the things he’s giving odds on. Saying you have a higher chance of dying by dog has nothing to do with the amount of people who come into contact with dogs.
@@TheSCPStudio thats nonsense. the numbers alone make that impossible. there is no way to have a chance of 1 in a million when there have not even been a million incidents of whatever that probability is assigned to. there have barely been any commercial plane crashes, but almost all of them have been fatal for all or most people on the plane, and the total number of people being subjected to a plane crash is small. probability alone means nothing, it requires tons or dependent variables to be checked and this, along with the methodology, needs to be carefully documented and logically analysed for inductive reasoning to have any meaning. you could make studies that "prove" anything, no matter how absurd, just by controlling the sample group and by determining correlating variables that logically do not correlate, and leaving the important ones out. thats one of the ways how academia manages to lie effortlessly.
The options paradox is really relatable to me as a gamer. When I have so many games installed, I want to play everything til I end up not playing anything at all. Compared to when I only have a few games installed I tend to focus on them and finish them quicker

The subject of less being better in regard to options/choices is so true. Any time I have a very large number of options to choose from in regard to anything, it overwhelms me to the point that I have a very difficult time choosing between the options. Any time I am in the store and I’m standing in the cereal aisle, men’s shampoo aisle, men’s stick deodorant section, condiment section, etc., etc., it absolutely overwhelms me and I just want to grab something adequate and pay for my selections and get out. After trying to weigh all the options by quality of product, taste or fragrance, and other attributes of whatever I’m trying to choose, I just get to a point where I stop caring so much about those attributes and just get foggy in my mind. That is when I finally give up and just, as I said before, grab something approximating the best for me and then I hurry to pay and leave so I can clear my mind. Then I’m immediately met with the overwhelming amount of choices in regard to what restaurant I want to stop at and purchase food. So it just goes on and on and on. When I was a child back in the very late 60’s and all through the 70’s, there definitely weren’t so many choices for all the different products that all of us need and buy, including food and clothing. This is why the HUGE big box stores exist now and they didn’t exist back then. The world has drastically changed since the 60’s and 70’s and, of course, there are countless reasons why that is a good thing. More choices is always better because more choices means more abundance and more specialized resources and products are available to the masses. But there is a tipping point that we reached a long time ago on which the number of choices of most all products became overwhelming and disconcerting. A trip to the grocery store just isn’t what it used to be. The overabundance of choices is good in some ways and terrible in other ways, just as I said above and the video pointed out. So much is so stressful to have to deal with and even the simplest decisions have become very stressful and difficult because the number of choices is just too many. I’m incredibly thankful that I live in a place where everything is abundant and there are MANY choices, but the tipping point was reached a long time ago and the stress level in so many people is such that it has caused the majority of people to lose their inner peace and they don’t even realize it.
Analysis paralysis almost destroyed my life. I couldn't make any choices regarding my career or education for a long time. Then I had kids, which forced me to get a job, any job ASAP, which cured my paralysis and things started going up for the first time.
I think you may be a bit neurotic if having choices actually stresses you out. It's nice to have an abundance of choices. Although It's a lot easier to shop when you already know what you want to purchase. So make your decisions on what you want to purchase while you're at home and it'll save you from the stress of having to choose from so many choices on the spot. It'll also keep you from impulsive purchases that you may regret.
1st world problems... Just do your research on a product and don't be lazy; you'll know what to choose. Better than the socialist bread lines in the country I was born in.
The shark paradox is easily one of the most flawed because it takes into every human in the world. If i lived in the middle of Siberia, what shark is going to kill me there?
to be fair though, if I lived in the sea with a pet shark, instead of living in a house with a pet dog, my chances of being killed by a shark compared to my chances of being killed by a dog might get reversed
If you were in an area where there are sharks and went into the ocean for 8 hrs a day everyday compared to living in an area that has dangerous dogs around and you were outside for 8 hours everyday I think the chances of dying from a shark is more likely because of the damage it could inflict?
@@chriswise7978 I really don't know. I've seen some pretty horrendous injuries dogs have caused. I also know that sharks don't actually like eating people and tend to only bite people by mistake when they mistake a human for animal they actually like eating. So neither sharks nor dogs are quite as we see them. I know I wouldn't trust a shark like I trust dogs, but I don't know what the actual factual comparison would be between the 2
@@chriswise7978 I don't doubt it was awful and I'm sorry you went through such a horrific and terrifying thing. I'm sorry if it came across as if I was belittling the horror of shark bites. That wasn't my intention. I only meant to say that we generally tend to assume that dogs are pretty harmless, or at least incapable of serious damage, and that sharks are cold blooded killers at any opportunity and, from a purely factual point of view, neither of those assumptions are true. From factual information I have heard, sharks don't intentionally attack humans, they mistake us for something else like a seal, but that doesn't mean the bites are any less devastating when they do bite so I apologize if I came across as insensitive. I hope you are recovering as well as possible from your injuries

One paradox I never hear anyone talk about is the saying "there's an exception to every rule." That phrase is also a rule, therefore there must an exception to it. So then there is a rule without exception, which means there can't be an exception to every rule. The same applies if you say "nothing is true" or "everything is false"
this fallacy is a logical fallacy, demonstrable as simply as a Venn diagram. It's a sub-category of categorical error (great read for those interested in what passes for "thought" in the vernacular). "You can't tell which way the train went by looking at the tracks" is helpful at the council meeting, but doesn't tell anyone which way to vote. It's just funny, and can break the ice with humor when people are stuck in unnecessarily provocative or scurrilous arguments. Unfortunately, it's as likely to create a stunned moment of silence, while people who have no intention of getting on about their business together, while people nod their heads sagaciously. It's efficacy lies outside of its rhetorical designs.

I believe that paradoxes in nature are currently the most logical place to study if we want to progress our understanding of the universe. They haunt every field consistently, fields which are not always consistent or compatible with each other besides their share of unwanted paradoxes.
a paradox just indicates a logical error. there are no paradoxes, if you find one, your premise or setup is false. paradoxes come about by confusing language or false assumptions, which lead to false expectations.

That meaninglessness is a gift. The ambiguity of reality allows us to project our own meaning and purpose, the ultimate "sandbox" game. The freewill we experience, even if limited, is another gift, which allows us to choose that meaning. The illusion of Freewill is paradoxically, the only possible expression of it, and can therefore be treated as true.

Baldrick was told that the bullet that gets you has your name on it. So he carved his name on a bullet and put it in his pocket, working on the basis that the chances of there being two bullets with his name on were very small indeed...
I don’t care what probability says. As an 11 year old after watching Jaws there was a 100% chance I would be killed by a shark if I got into the hotel swimming pool.
The problem with these probabilities you give is it depends on your lifestyle. If i surf everyday, I am more likely to be attacked by a shark because I put myself in that situation. If i never enter the ocean in my life then there is an extremely small percentage chance that I ever get attacked/killed by a shark. Same with lighting, if i spend all day in my house my chances are lowered. How is one going to accurately measure these probabilities.
This is true, but when you take your data points from as many lifestyles as possible and average them, the statistics generated are generally still relevant to the average person, and understanding people as a whole.
Im a schizophrenic. I do doordash for extra money. One order at night, i arrived and walked to the door, placed his food down and took a picture. I got in my car and drove away. 30 minutes later he called and asked where his food was, i totally remember taking the picture at his doorstep. So he took it up with Doordash. An order later, i opened my back door and.. saw his order. I was so confused why it was there. I remembered everything about going there and taking the picture. Appearantly i hallucinated the whole delivery. I was there, but must of never left the car. What was i doing then?? Staring blankly at the windshield? I called him and apologized but he already got his refund. I felt so terrible. Im on medication and nothing works. It just goes to show how easily some misfirings in the brain can completely alter your sense of reality.
Lightning will always give you what you want or something better with a delay. The only thing that seperates real life from a dream is that in a dream when you go lucid and you intend to experience something, it just appears immediately. In Finding Nemo, Marlin loses his son. He is caught by a fisherman uh or a scientist and he's like taken away on a boat and the point of the movie is that we're trying to find Nemo. That's what Marlin wants to find. His son. Now the problem here is that Marlin doesn't know how to find his son but he just knows Beyond The Shred of a doubt that he's going to find his son because he's a dad and he lost his only son. So his whole life he knows for a fact, his heart and his mind have come into Union, they've both agreed that 100% we're going to find our son but I don't know how. So this is the same for you with your goal. You want something 100% for sure without a doubt but I don't know how I'm going to get it. That's okay normally you don't have to know how to get something. All you need to know is the first step. This is exactly how reality creation works. You hold your goal (P Sherman 42 Wallaby Way Sydney) in your mind and then you trust that the universe is going to take you there in its own mysterious way. Trust the universe that it's going to bring you to your goal but you won't know how.

I was lucky enough to take over my father's electrical contracting company when I was 26. The company literally runs itself and, at 38 years old, I've had the time and the money these past 12 years to just enjoy life. I know just how lucky I am and I'm extremely grateful because I was utterly miserable going into work every day. I felt like I was just watching my life go by.
I am 64, and I have never been attacked by a vending machine. But once in Florida, fish started jumping out of the water, and I made all the children get out of the water. They weren't happy. The next morning, we found out just a mile further up the beach a boy was attacked by a shark. I think the shark went right past us. I was also an animal shelter director and work for veterinarian for many years. I was attacked once but not killed. See, the shark is winning. 😊 Do not drink or drive at night. I am telling you this shark almost got us. I live on a lake, if fish are jumping, somethingn is chasing them.
Live your life and don't take it too seriously. Don't compare your experience with anyone else's. We exist like the blink of an eye. Everything matters but the paradox is that simultaneously, nothing really matters. Edit: my personal philosophy is that life isn't about me. And it never has been. It's collective in nature and while we are granted to be here, we need to be good. Only a very small percentage of people actually do anything to induce progress in our species.
no thats postmodern marxist bullshit. you should take life seriously, you should take yourself seriously, and everything matters. and you should live life to serve a greater purpose in order to give your life a meaning.
He said a motorcycle rider is less likely to die in a crash than someone in a car. Motorcycle riders are 30 time more likely to die. The average person is less likely to die on a bike because few people ride motorcycles compared to cars. These details make all the difference. Google got it wrong too; but everyone, do better.
It's my 3rd day being homeless, sleeping in an old office room in an abandoned building. It's a horrible existence. I really do wish I did not exist, or this was all just a dream. I want to wake from this hell.
Ya know,.....EVERY time that someone says :"You Shouldn't be Alive" I'm tempted to blame my parents❤ Also, the odds of being killed by a vending machine ARE higher than the odds of being killed by a shark, but know this,.....you will NEVER be killed by a shark IN a vending machine,....so SMILE. YOU'RE A WINNER❤

As an airplane mechanic, planes are super safe even if they are 50 years old. Theres inspectors and a lot of checks. We have to follow the manuals word to word and they get updated constantly. When a plan crashes, millions of dollars are spent to find out what happened to prevent it again. Most plane crashes are due to pilot error/ human factors not mechenical
Two out of three motorists will, on average, be involved in a drunk driving crash, OR Two out of three motorists who drink will be involved in a drunk driving crash, OR _Two out of three CRASHES involve one or more drunk drivers?_ So, which is it? IOW, worthless statistics. Absolutely worthless. :/
It taught you how to not value life. Because saying people being less significant doesn't give more value to life. And people are not smart for thinking so.
Various types of sources are available for some of the facts, the video probably uses a compilation of a few. And then I guess the author would have done their own math and research too. Examples: Claim departments within any insurance industry will have statistics on accidents and risk types. Places associated with medical advancements would have records and statistics about the body. Prisons would have records for crimes. Access to public death records, etc.. Cheers!

I had a psychedelic trip where the main message I got was that everything is a paradox. It took me years to really understand it but eventually i did. God I love mushrooms.

yeah, the complexity and conundrum of trying to find meaning of our existence, feeling like youre on to something, but every time you go down that line of thought you find theres a dead end. I always came to an impasse as well. life is a paradox. And ive come to terms with it. And honestly, its a good thing. Think about the concept of whether or not god exists. If we knew, like actually had tangible evidence that we could see, hear, touch, that truly verified without any doubt that god did (or did not) exist; life would be less meaningful. The biggest mystery (or one of the biggest) would be gone completely from our existence. It would honestly change everyone in a different way and I do believe it would be for the worst. because that mystery in our life gives us so many options and more ideas in and more possibilities than it does in how we view ourselves and how we want to live. take it away and your options become limited. Just think, the more we learn about our world and universe, the more mysteries we solve, the fewer reasons we have to live. The more we know then the more predictable our lives would become. Our desire to live would be less, because the risk and mystery and probability iS the meaning to life. its the unknown that drives us.
@@yaze3316 im gonna have to disagree with you bro, if there is a God (I knoww there is one, the Source/YHWH/Jehovah/Brahman or whatever) I know that there is more to reality than the human experience, more capabilities of intelligent design than we can imagine. If there isn't one, then I know that I truly am the only master of my own reality, and that I find is still empowering. Unlike everyone else I want to know everything (I possibly can), I feel fulfilled by uncovering answers. That's just me, I respect if one wants to leave things as a mystery.
I really like those small breaks in this video, it just gives me an option to stop the video and just think about what you just said instead of overflowing my brain with too much information
I stopped watching at 2:44 once I realized this was going to be a video that stood behind statistical mathematic averages as facts. Here’s a fact: Living in the midwestern United States, I’m 99.9% more likely to get killed by a vending machine than a shark, when compared to a person who lives on the coast of Oahu HI… who is inversely, 99.9% more likely to be killed by a shark, but potentially equally as likely to be killed by a vending machine depending on how closely both they and I spend the majority of each day near vending machines. The shark is an IMPOSSIBILITY for me, but very much possible and far more likely for the Hawaiian. You can’t average out the earths entire human population and start calculating statistical probabilities of very regional situations/scenarios.
I was about to post something along these lines. It's like saying, "Most car crashes happen 5 miles from your house." Well, duh, you are within 5 miles of your house most of the time you are driving.
I find life beautiful and at the same time incredibly sad, and sometimes I wish I wasn’t born so that I wouldn’t have to experience all of this and be able to lose it all.
About the shark thing: people on average spend much more time in the vicinity of dogs, vending machines, and hornets than they do around sharks. It would be interesting to see how they would compare when you include factors like this.
Thank you so very much for this incredible information that I knew. But some one have had to remind us from time to time. This video helped me to wake up even more. I watched it twice now and I’m going to come back and watch it again and again. One of the best videos! Thank you 😊.
10:36 This is exactly how I feel and why I, to an extent, don’t agree with the philosophy of “grinding hard now and then enjoying retirement.” It just doesn’t make sense to me and exactly for that reason.
Good stuff!! I’m probably going to watch every bit of this interesting content now. It’s probable that I’m going into this rabbit hole. The problem is that there’s only so much time and space to fit it in.😂
I make 6 figures and I have not been more miserable on my entire life. I wake up do the same thing everyday. Is literal groundhogs day, I don't even keep track of days or dates anymore. Wake up, eat, go to work 12-14 hours, eat, shower repeat.... I need a minimum of 8 hours of sleep if I work 12 to 14 hours that only leaves me 2-4 hours a day outside of work Which is about what it takes me to eat and shower every day, Then I go to sleep and repeat. I used to have fun, Do stuff outside of work, Have a life but I just don't have the energy anymore I cant operate on 4-6 hoirs of sleep like I used to in my 20s and 30s. It hits different when you get in your mid 40s. In fact I quit my 6 figure job because I was happier when I had last money.... Then I realized I can't survive on less money....
I'm very sorry to hear that. I can relate because I'm 46 and it's definitely impacting my health overall. We don't have the same energy as when we were younger. What I recommend you do is during the little spare time that you have that you focus on maybe a passion of yours. I know it sounds silly but over time you will build a network of people that share the same passion which in turn, our economy always creates new opportunities every single time. It's actually hard to find a space that wouldn't follow that law. Even in art for example you could end up working for an art gallery. In sports you could be a coach. In IT you could be entering a new startup and so on and so forth. Don't let this beat you down my friend. Keep your chin up and thank you for sharing.
I find it paradoxical that when you're a skilled driver, the presence of a police car behind you can make you anxious and lead to poorer driving, ultimately resulting in being pulled over due to the initial nervousness about getting pulled over
I spent twenty years in school but i loved it. I got to learn so many different things. Now that I fully graduated I kind of hate it and love it. lol I love it because I don’t have to think so hard, and I hate it because I don’t have to think so hard. So I truly get it.
This video is build that you can only understand it when you are completely baked, otherwise the constant topic change just throws you out faster than you gf when her parents arrive.
1. The fear of flying in plane and meeting an accident more than getting killed in car accident or bike accident is because chances of if something happened in airplane means certain death while in car crashes and bike crashes people still survive if i lt comes to worst as amputed.
There are significantly more vehicles on the road, than planes in the sky, with many drivers and motorcyclists who, despite having passed their driving tests, lack proper vehicle-handling skills, as opposed to pilots who have undergone more rigorous training and assessment.

I was so captivated I watched this whole and even went back to understand it. I honestly think this gave me a better outlook on life.

@HoodieSardine ah biomedical has lots and lots of room for growth. Making assistive devices would also be quite rewarding too. One thing I would like to do would be engineer biocompatible grafting materials so tissue could bind seamlessly with metal, ceramics, or even other biological tissues. For example making a cermet (metal ceramic composition) dental implant that the gum and bone both grow into forming a secure bond that will last a lifetime. 🤔
Creation is beautiful and the fact that there is a likelihood that something you helped create will help humanity for decades or even centuries maybe...

The shark analogy is pretty bad math. It actually demonstrates the point you go on to make later, that twisting statistics without context allows you to say just about anything you want it to.
For one, the stunningly low probability you arrive at for shark attack is inaccurate if viewed without proper context.
There are numerous... infinitely more vending machines than sharks in the city, and far more dogs too. There are also more cars.
The probability of a shark attack would be vastly higher if you only looked at people who happened to be at the beach.
It would be astronomically higher if you only took into account swimmers who happen to see a shark.
Using stats in this way to reduce our worries is fine but we shouldn't use them to reduce credible threats to below the risk of a falling vending machine should we be in a position to be exposed to them
Also the probability of death on a motorcycle is certainly higher than that of a car, unless you're not accounting for the fact that there are many many more drivers than riders... And I'm fairly certain that if the chances of death in car was 1% every time you drive, nobody would want to drive at all... You'd clock 200 trips a year easy, making 1%a virtual certainly
Obviously the probability of a plane crash is low per trip. Just as the probability of a car crash is also low... PER TRIP. If you're comparing probability of death per flight with probability of death for the average driver who logs hundreds of trips a year for his lifetime... I'd say you're an airplane rep trying to sell flight tickets
Grey skies or sadness are equally… happiness …
I know I shouldn't be alive. I might fix that later
Yeah, I wouldn't be so sure about that.
You might increase your odds of being eaten by a shark. If you're out in the deep ocean.
And you're bleeding.😂
My favorite paradox is the Astley paradox. If you ask Rick Astley for his copy of the movie "Up", he can't give it to you because he will never give you up. However, in doing so, he lets you down. Thus creating the Astley paradox.

One paradox I believe in is when you're a good driver but then a police car gets behind you and that makes you nervous and drive poorly, then you get pulled over because you were nervous about getting pulled over.

I’ve always wondered when people talk about the odds of being eaten by a shark… are they taking into account only the people that swim in the ocean or are they counting everyone in the world? Because I would imagine those are two VERY different statistics.
I mean.. how often are people eaten by a shark while grocery shopping?
Never have seen the stats for people who get eaten who are in the ocean ... Bet it's terrifying!
Fun fact, more people report being bitten on the face by fellow humans in NYC each year than are eaten by sharks globally .
Same i also wonder with the "you're more likely to die in a car accident vs plane" probably has something to do with the fact so many more people are driving on a daily basis than flying.
@@hirsutuscanis well there’s over 100k flights a day. While it’s nowhere near as many drivers, there’s still a significant number of reasons why it’s safer.
*Regulation and Standards:* The aviation industry is highly regulated, with strict safety standards set by aviation authorities. This ensures that aircraft, pilots, maintenance procedures, and airlines all adhere to rigorous safety protocols.
*Pilot Training and Experience:* Pilots undergo extensive training and simulations before they can operate commercial flights. They are trained to handle a wide range of situations, and their experience contributes to safe decision-making in complex scenarios.
*Maintenance:* Aircraft maintenance is meticulous and routine. Planes undergo regular inspections, repairs, and upgrades to ensure they remain in top condition. Strict maintenance schedules help identify and rectify potential issues before they become problems.
*Air Traffic Control:* Air traffic controllers manage and guide flights, ensuring safe separation and efficient routing of aircraft. This minimizes the risk of collisions and helps pilots navigate safely.
*Advanced Technology:* Aircraft are equipped with advanced navigation, communication, and safety systems that enhance situational awareness and aid in safe operations. These technologies are continuously evolving to further improve safety.
*Learning from Accidents:* The aviation industry closely studies accidents and incidents to identify root causes and implement corrective measures. This culture of learning from mistakes helps prevent similar issues in the future.
*Risk Management:* Airlines and aviation authorities actively manage risks associated with flying. This includes factors like weather, maintenance, pilot fatigue, and security. Procedures and protocols are in place to mitigate these risks.
*Crew Resource Management:* Flight crews are trained in effective communication and teamwork, which are crucial for handling emergencies and unexpected situations.
*Inherent Nature of Flight:* Flying at higher altitudes reduces the risk of collisions with obstacles, pedestrians, or other vehicles that can occur on roads. Additionally, the controlled environment of airports and airspaces contributes to safety.
Despite all this, I’m still scared of flying lol.
I used to work in a hospital as a care assistant. Towards the end of the covid pandemic i took care of a polish man who was 102 years old at the time, luckily he escaped poland a few weeks before the nazis occupied his home town he ended up in England and found work as an air craft maintenance engineer he asked if he could learn to fly a plane and his request was granted and eventually he ended up flying combat sorties over the channel, on his last sortie his plane was hit and began leaking fuel but luckily did not catch fire he had to ditch in the English channel but again luckily he was close enough to the shore that he was able to make it back and a local family who seen his plane go down from the beach ran to help him, very lucky guy, and at the age of 102 he walked with out a stick, could tie shoe laces could hear fine and only needed glasses for reading and managed to shrug off covid-19 with no need for oxygen therapy or anti virals i think he must be the luckiest guy i have ever met

My daughter went to Montessori elementary and they taught that instead of having a huge corner of toys or a room of toys for your child you should bring out 4 at a time for a few days and then rotate with another 4. It really works!… your child will play with them rather than letting them collect dust because of too many choices where it cancels all of them out👍🏼🌎☀️💙
Yes.

Thats what disney and hbo max do to us with shows, but some show never comeback😢
But maybe the same 8 toys just keep rotating?

This is so peaceful to me for some reason. Honestly I’ve been listening to this on and off over the last few days. I listen while I’m taking a quick nap during my busy schedule. For some reason, it calms me down. It grounds me. I’m not sure the meaning of life. When I was a teenager I would have said Jesus. As a 31 year old man I don’t really have an answer anymore. Not knowing is scary and grounding all at the same time. And knowing other people feel like me is also comforting. Anyway. Thanks.

There is a fallacy early on in this video whereby it talks about sharks and the statistics of there being more chances of being killed by a dog but we keep them around etc and how this equals to how we are irrational creatures, not at all, this is a fallacy, let me explain.
It is absolutely crucial to look at exposure time to humans of the said species and than compare the number of attacks. we will quickly see the total human exposure to sharks vs dogs is 100 percent land slide win for dogs and than compare the number of attacks within that time and you will quickly find sharks are significantly more prone to attacks.

One of the first realizations that hit me young was my mortality. My life was finite. I had my first existential crisis when I was 3. I didn't want to waste one second yet everything felt like a waste of time. I cried in school because I was wasting my life. I didn't want to work. I couldn't stand waiting or being patient. I always multitasked. I never wanted to delay gratification or be anything when I grew up. I've never been happy because my life is limited. Nothing has ever been worth work or effort. I never related to anyone. Just lived my life in a panic. It's unfortunate that my life has been pretty crappy ever since I knew I would die. I've never been able to really live.
I can completely relate! Except that I was more like age 7..I even recall the bone chilling tingle because it first happened during 2nd grade class.
oooh, such a good one. Re-late. Precocious spiritual insight can often have these results in the cultural milieu which hides from death, and rewards the cult of bizzy.
This is based in fear of death, as if death is final.
Embrace the afterlife and when the time comes, embrace the experience of death.
In the meantime, relax and enjoy the day to day experience of life and focus on loving the people around you.
It's that simple
i promise you i relate 100% to you

The only thing irrational about the average persons fear of the government is that it’s not proportional to the danger they actually pose to you.

After taking a look at ur channel, i can see why
The odds of certain things happening to you depend on contributing factors. In the instance of being struck 7 times by lightning the likelihood for the average person is quite low but in the instance of the guy who was struck 7 times there were factors that made it much more likely. He had a job that had him working in open fields in an area where lightening storms are more prevalent. When it comes to shark attacks the odds are again quite low but if you’re an abalone diver or a surfer who surfs at a beach without shark nets and is the habitat known for sharks, such as Cottlesloe Beach Western Australia, the odds skyrocket. It all depends on the location and the frequency of exposure to danger with the likelihood occurring. It’s how insurance companies come up with the cost of premiums and how risk assessments are done in risk management.
Yup and that rational reasoning completely invalidates a nice chunk of what is elegantly delivered in this video.
well said!
that i think tells for some of it, but definitely not all. you could predict a lot with numbers and statistics. but i never much cared for statistics in school, that’s all they are, statistics.
sure if u swim in the ocean u have a higher likelihood to get eaten by a shark i guess, but i’ve lived at the beach my whole life and never met a soul who has.
some things can be concluded about being in the wrong place could make you more likely to get struck by lighting or eaten by a shark, but within that there’s so mathematical stability, no predictability.
Yes of course but I think the odds are mostly taking into account the fact that most likely anything else can happen then being attacked by a shark, bc for instance think about all the kids in the Midwest inner cities. A lot would most likely never die or be attacked by a shark orrr say plane crash bc they almost never leave their home town. Not to travel or ever even see the ocean. If that makes sense lol? I could be wrong but that’s my make of it

There was a waterfall near us, such a lovely thin streak of water, like a thread but white and moving. It fell from a great height, but it looked quite low, and it was half a mile away, though it did not seem fifty paces. I loved to listen to it at night, but it was then that I became so restless. Sometimes I went and climbed the mountain and stood there in the midst of the tall pines, all alone in the terrible silence, with our little village in the distance, and the sky so blue, and the sun so bright, and an old ruined castle on the mountain-side, far away. I used to watch the line where earth and sky met, and longed to go and seek there the key of all mysteries, thinking that I might find there a new life, perhaps some great city where life should be grander and richer--and then it struck me that life may be grand enough even in a prison.

Recently he’s been uploading every few days amazing videos!!
People just want more of that quality. There’s nothing wrong with that. They haven’t said, “Hey, Aperture, please slop out many more scripts and make slopped out videos from them with sloppy editing.” It’s all a matter of people craving more of the quality that you speak of, not just quantity from Aperture just to have more from him to watch. Wanting more definitely doesn’t mean any one of us wants just anything in video form that has “Aperture” stamped on it. It’s the quality we want more of; not the quantity.
I sometimes wonder what the hell goes on in peoples heads when they have such inconsistent and weird ways of communicating.
I can only imagine how mind-blowing all this is to people who have not been exposed to this kind of expanive pondering before.
But not you

Wow you’re so smart 😮
hes right tho, theres many people who simply dont think about anything lol
When you are observing someone in secret, dont look directly at them until shortly before you intend to take action. Look slightly to the side of them so you can still see them, but they are out of your focal point. If you look directly at someone, they will notice they are being watched. This applies to animals as well.
No.

Loved this.
Reminded me intensely of The Way of the Peaceful Warrior which was my favorite book as a kid. The "House Rules" were Paradox, Humor, and Change.
Thank you for making a wonderful video.😊
Our fears of something are rational though, for instance, in the video you said you’re more likely to get killed by a dog than you are a shark, but that’s because the ratio of humans around dogs and humans around sharks are drastically different. Ratios have many factors, you’re only considering one side.
Well said.
You’re misunderstanding statistics and probabilities.
So say you have 1 in 100 chance of dying to a bee sting. That doesn’t mean there is a 1 in 100 chance of dying to a bee sting during your daily life. That’s out of 100 bee stings, an average of 1 will typically kill you.
I don’t feel like getting the exact numbers he used but if he said you have a 1/10 chance to die by dog and a 1/100 chance to die by shark, that doesn’t mean you’re more likely to die by a dog during your day to day life. That means if you were attacked by a dog, one out of every 10 attacks has a chance to kill you. For the sharks it would be 1/100 attacks would kill you.
By default the statists are excluding people who don’t encounter the things he’s giving odds on. Saying you have a higher chance of dying by dog has nothing to do with the amount of people who come into contact with dogs.
@@TheSCPStudio thats nonsense. the numbers alone make that impossible. there is no way to have a chance of 1 in a million when there have not even been a million incidents of whatever that probability is assigned to. there have barely been any commercial plane crashes, but almost all of them have been fatal for all or most people on the plane, and the total number of people being subjected to a plane crash is small.
probability alone means nothing, it requires tons or dependent variables to be checked and this, along with the methodology, needs to be carefully documented and logically analysed for inductive reasoning to have any meaning. you could make studies that "prove" anything, no matter how absurd, just by controlling the sample group and by determining correlating variables that logically do not correlate, and leaving the important ones out. thats one of the ways how academia manages to lie effortlessly.
The options paradox is really relatable to me as a gamer. When I have so many games installed, I want to play everything til I end up not playing anything at all. Compared to when I only have a few games installed I tend to focus on them and finish them quicker
I don't know the probabilities, but I absorbed my twin in my moms belly, born 2 months too early, had to be recucitated at birth, born half in an ambulance, half in hospital, have central heterochromia, and I was born under new moon. My life is a disaster after disaster, but grateful to be here alive.

‘If your friends turned their backs on you, it’s fine, there millions of people out there like you.’ That hit me hard and healed me… I’ve been stuck in darkness scared of people may hurt me… but I really want to make friends again :’( and I think that my fashion business and writing (which were my dreams and I finally made them true as I survived homelessness), then I pray to the universe to surround me with good people😔 if people feel depressed and stuck feel free to check ‘The Homeless Photographer’ my book I recently self-publisbed, all I want is to bring as many people I can up with me 🙏🏼
This is honestly one of the thought provoking videos ive ever seen. Thank you for this. Its really eye opening
I had a small piece of paper under my desk mat in my room in 6th grade that read, “if you want peace, prepare for war.” because of a history teacher I had. I learned that quote and that’s the only thing I remember from that class.
Mr. Mott was his name. He got my interested in history. Great teacher. That was back in ‘01. I still say this quote today joking with my kids during our nerf battles.
Excellent video man, every one of these videos made me think. I really appreciate your content. Thank you.

The subject of less being better in regard to options/choices is so true. Any time I have a very large number of options to choose from in regard to anything, it overwhelms me to the point that I have a very difficult time choosing between the options. Any time I am in the store and I’m standing in the cereal aisle, men’s shampoo aisle, men’s stick deodorant section, condiment section, etc., etc., it absolutely overwhelms me and I just want to grab something adequate and pay for my selections and get out. After trying to weigh all the options by quality of product, taste or fragrance, and other attributes of whatever I’m trying to choose, I just get to a point where I stop caring so much about those attributes and just get foggy in my mind. That is when I finally give up and just, as I said before, grab something approximating the best for me and then I hurry to pay and leave so I can clear my mind.
Then I’m immediately met with the overwhelming amount of choices in regard to what restaurant I want to stop at and purchase food. So it just goes on and on and on.
When I was a child back in the very late 60’s and all through the 70’s, there definitely weren’t so many choices for all the different products that all of us need and buy, including food and clothing. This is why the HUGE big box stores exist now and they didn’t exist back then.
The world has drastically changed since the 60’s and 70’s and, of course, there are countless reasons why that is a good thing. More choices is always better because more choices means more abundance and more specialized resources and products are available to the masses. But there is a tipping point that we reached a long time ago on which the number of choices of most all products became overwhelming and disconcerting. A trip to the grocery store just isn’t what it used to be. The overabundance of choices is good in some ways and terrible in other ways, just as I said above and the video pointed out. So much is so stressful to have to deal with and even the simplest decisions have become very stressful and difficult because the number of choices is just too many.
I’m incredibly thankful that I live in a place where everything is abundant and there are MANY choices, but the tipping point was reached a long time ago and the stress level in so many people is such that it has caused the majority of people to lose their inner peace and they don’t even realize it.
Analysis paralysis almost destroyed my life. I couldn't make any choices regarding my career or education for a long time. Then I had kids, which forced me to get a job, any job ASAP, which cured my paralysis and things started going up for the first time.
I think you may be a bit neurotic if having choices actually stresses you out. It's nice to have an abundance of choices. Although It's a lot easier to shop when you already know what you want to purchase. So make your decisions on what you want to purchase while you're at home and it'll save you from the stress of having to choose from so many choices on the spot. It'll also keep you from impulsive purchases that you may regret.
😅😅my in
1st world problems...
Just do your research on a product and don't be lazy; you'll know what to choose. Better than the socialist bread lines in the country I was born in.
It's not "neurosis", it's normal human psychology.
The shark paradox is easily one of the most flawed because it takes into every human in the world. If i lived in the middle of Siberia, what shark is going to kill me there?
to be fair though, if I lived in the sea with a pet shark, instead of living in a house with a pet dog, my chances of being killed by a shark compared to my chances of being killed by a dog might get reversed
If you were in an area where there are sharks and went into the ocean for 8 hrs a day everyday compared to living in an area that has dangerous dogs around and you were outside for 8 hours everyday I think the chances of dying from a shark is more likely because of the damage it could inflict?
@@chriswise7978 I really don't know. I've seen some pretty horrendous injuries dogs have caused. I also know that sharks don't actually like eating people and tend to only bite people by mistake when they mistake a human for animal they actually like eating. So neither sharks nor dogs are quite as we see them.
I know I wouldn't trust a shark like I trust dogs, but I don't know what the actual factual comparison would be between the 2
@@gabeangel8104 I was bitten by a shark back in February. I can send you pics of my foot after the bite if you would like
@@chriswise7978 I don't doubt it was awful and I'm sorry you went through such a horrific and terrifying thing. I'm sorry if it came across as if I was belittling the horror of shark bites. That wasn't my intention. I only meant to say that we generally tend to assume that dogs are pretty harmless, or at least incapable of serious damage, and that sharks are cold blooded killers at any opportunity and, from a purely factual point of view, neither of those assumptions are true. From factual information I have heard, sharks don't intentionally attack humans, they mistake us for something else like a seal, but that doesn't mean the bites are any less devastating when they do bite so I apologize if I came across as insensitive.
I hope you are recovering as well as possible from your injuries
Lmao I kinda thought that same thing
I've been struck by lightning once and luckily it wasn't too bad...just standing in my garage smoking a cig watching the rain and started feeling my hair stand up on my whole body...like your touching those Tesla coils at the science museum😅...had the worst feeling at that moment so I started slowly walking backwards to get more in the garage...and at about my 2nd step back it smacked the driveway right in front of me⚡😶⚡....body just felt like I been sitting in a hot tub for hours but thank God nothing serious...I think🤔.

Little strands. Loved that.
the greatest paradox is how we can “lose” objects and somehow miss it visually when it’s in a clearly visible spot
how can our eyes not pick that up?
One paradox I never hear anyone talk about is the saying "there's an exception to every rule." That phrase is also a rule, therefore there must an exception to it. So then there is a rule without exception, which means there can't be an exception to every rule. The same applies if you say "nothing is true" or "everything is false"
this fallacy is a logical fallacy, demonstrable as simply as a Venn diagram. It's a sub-category of categorical error (great read for those interested in what passes for "thought" in the vernacular). "You can't tell which way the train went by looking at the tracks" is helpful at the council meeting, but doesn't tell anyone which way to vote. It's just funny, and can break the ice with humor when people are stuck in unnecessarily provocative or scurrilous arguments. Unfortunately, it's as likely to create a stunned moment of silence, while people who have no intention of getting on about their business together, while people nod their heads sagaciously.
It's efficacy lies outside of its rhetorical designs.
Aperture, you create the coolest videos, I am 65 years 11 months and 4 days on earth,
I traveled to 22 states plus Canada seem more cities than I can remember I enjoy videos it has become a hobby to watch you-tube videos since I do not need to work, I had a long
Career from 1978 to 2015 then retired we all have different goals in life for me it was the ability to be able to watch you-tube videos without being told get back to work,
I enjoy watching videos my money situation is automatic deposited my bills automatically paid everything paid off. I pretty much done all I set out to do in my almost 66 years of living my life. I already received over $1 Million dollars going onto 2 million dollars I discover the less I work the more money I ended up receiving. I drove to many places was in 3 wrecks not really that bad just ruin the vehicles. I can walk, see hear think function very well for my age.

I believe that paradoxes in nature are currently the most logical place to study if we want to progress our understanding of the universe. They haunt every field consistently, fields which are not always consistent or compatible with each other besides their share of unwanted paradoxes.
a paradox just indicates a logical error. there are no paradoxes, if you find one, your premise or setup is false. paradoxes come about by confusing language or false assumptions, which lead to false expectations.
"@Joe Black , one episode normally takes my team 2-3 weeks to make. We have researchers, writers and editors." Funny how we all think it is easy and straight forward, this is why i like Aperture, it's incredible
how much time takes Aperture to produce a video of 25 minutes? And how many people have the team?

I belong here with you. This type of content makes me feel happy. Because there are still decent amounts of people that value the meaninglessness of life and the abstract lives we live...
That meaninglessness is a gift. The ambiguity of reality allows us to project our own meaning and purpose, the ultimate "sandbox" game. The freewill we experience, even if limited, is another gift, which allows us to choose that meaning. The illusion of Freewill is paradoxically, the only possible expression of it, and can therefore be treated as true.
@@TheMoopMonster what's interesting is free will is actually pretty limited physically. The human body is pretty fragile. But, we have so much influence on our mind. We can perceive the world however we want even if it's not an accurate representation of reality

I don’t care what probability says. As an 11 year old after watching Jaws there was a 100% chance I would be killed by a shark if I got into the hotel swimming pool.
The problem with these probabilities you give is it depends on your lifestyle. If i surf everyday, I am more likely to be attacked by a shark because I put myself in that situation. If i never enter the ocean in my life then there is an extremely small percentage chance that I ever get attacked/killed by a shark. Same with lighting, if i spend all day in my house my chances are lowered. How is one going to accurately measure these probabilities.
This is true, but when you take your data points from as many lifestyles as possible and average them, the statistics generated are generally still relevant to the average person, and understanding people as a whole.
This is called conditionnal probability

Im a schizophrenic. I do doordash for extra money. One order at night, i arrived and walked to the door, placed his food down and took a picture. I got in my car and drove away. 30 minutes later he called and asked where his food was, i totally remember taking the picture at his doorstep. So he took it up with Doordash. An order later, i opened my back door and.. saw his order. I was so confused why it was there. I remembered everything about going there and taking the picture. Appearantly i hallucinated the whole delivery. I was there, but must of never left the car. What was i doing then?? Staring blankly at the windshield?
I called him and apologized but he already got his refund. I felt so terrible. Im on medication and nothing works. It just goes to show how easily some misfirings in the brain can completely alter your sense of reality.

In Finding Nemo, Marlin loses his son. He is caught by a fisherman uh or a scientist and he's like taken away on a boat and the point of the movie is that we're trying to find Nemo. That's what Marlin wants to find. His son. Now the problem here is that Marlin doesn't know how to find his son but he just knows Beyond The Shred of a doubt that he's going to find his son because he's a dad and he lost his only son. So his whole life he knows for a fact, his heart and his mind have come into Union, they've both agreed that 100% we're going to find our son but I don't know how. So this is the same for you with your goal. You want something 100% for sure without a doubt but I don't know how I'm going to get it. That's okay normally you don't have to know how to get something. All you need to know is the first step.
This is exactly how reality creation works. You hold your goal (P Sherman 42 Wallaby Way Sydney) in your mind and then you trust that the universe is going to take you there in its own mysterious way.
Trust the universe that it's going to bring you to your goal but you won't know how. On the surface it's going to seem like everything is falling apart but once you look back you're going to say oh I actually needed to go through that failure because now I'm successful but I couldn't have been successful without that failure.
You say oh this is going to bring me to my goal and you just kind of affirm to yourself that the Universe looks out for me and that the universe is on my team and is helping me manifest what I want. You want to be like Dory. You want to have radical trust in the universe and you want to hold in your mind your vision. That's why she keeps repeating P Sherman 42 Wallaby Way Sydney over and over again. Hold your vision in mind and trust that whatever happens you're gonna be brought there. That's how you create your reality using your imagination.
Go after your goal in the same way that you go to get the post from the letterbox.
Stop imagining the post to be a problem and simply put one foot in front of the other in the direction of the letterbox.
Any goal you have if you can think and feel about it the same way as you do when you go to get your post from the mailbox then it's a done deal.

A beautiful video. Thank you for the time sacrificed to make this. Amazing
I was lucky enough to take over my father's electrical contracting company when I was 26. The company literally runs itself and, at 38 years old, I've had the time and the money these past 12 years to just enjoy life. I know just how lucky I am and I'm extremely grateful because I was utterly miserable going into work every day. I felt like I was just watching my life go by.
I am 64, and I have never been attacked by a vending machine.
But once in Florida, fish started jumping out of the water, and I made all the children get out of the water. They weren't happy.
The next morning, we found out just a mile further up the beach a boy was attacked by a shark.
I think the shark went right past us.
I was also an animal shelter director and work for veterinarian for many years. I was attacked once but not killed.
See, the shark is winning. 😊
Do not drink or drive at night.
I am telling you this shark almost got us.
I live on a lake, if fish are jumping, somethingn is chasing them.
as soon you said "But once in Florida" I knew something was about to go down.😂
Live your life and don't take it too seriously. Don't compare your experience with anyone else's. We exist like the blink of an eye. Everything matters but the paradox is that simultaneously, nothing really matters.
Edit: my personal philosophy is that life isn't about me. And it never has been. It's collective in nature and while we are granted to be here, we need to be good.
Only a very small percentage of people actually do anything to induce progress in our species.
no thats postmodern marxist bullshit. you should take life seriously, you should take yourself seriously, and everything matters. and you should live life to serve a greater purpose in order to give your life a meaning.

Started the video with a fear of sharks, ended it with a fear of vending machines, dogs, bees and the government.
Where does one get these kind of crazy probabilities? Is there some place where the stats are being discussed or written about in depth? Regards
Various types of sources are available for some of the facts, the video probably uses a compilation of a few. And then I guess the author would have done their own math and research too.
Examples: Claim departments within any insurance industry will have statistics on accidents and risk types. Places associated with medical advancements would have records and statistics about the body. Prisons would have records for crimes. Access to public death records, etc..

yeah, the complexity and conundrum of trying to find meaning of our existence, feeling like youre on to something, but every time you go down that line of thought you find theres a dead end. I always came to an impasse as well. life is a paradox. And ive come to terms with it. And honestly, its a good thing. Think about the concept of whether or not god exists. If we knew, like actually had tangible evidence that we could see, hear, touch, that truly verified without any doubt that god did (or did not) exist; life would be less meaningful. The biggest mystery (or one of the biggest) would be gone completely from our existence. It would honestly change everyone in a different way and I do believe it would be for the worst. because that mystery in our life gives us so many options and more ideas in and more possibilities than it does in how we view ourselves and how we want to live. take it away and your options become limited.
Just think, the more we learn about our world and universe, the more mysteries we solve, the fewer reasons we have to live. The more we know then the more predictable our lives would become. Our desire to live would be less, because the risk and mystery and probability iS the meaning to life. its the unknown that drives us.
@@yaze3316 The unknown being what drives us is what makes casinos so dangerously enticing.

I really like those small breaks in this video, it just gives me an option to stop the video and just think about what you just said instead of overflowing my brain with too much information
I stopped watching at 2:44 once I realized this was going to be a video that stood behind statistical mathematic averages as facts. Here’s a fact: Living in the midwestern United States, I’m 99.9% more likely to get killed by a vending machine than a shark, when compared to a person who lives on the coast of Oahu HI… who is inversely, 99.9% more likely to be killed by a shark, but potentially equally as likely to be killed by a vending machine depending on how closely both they and I spend the majority of each day near vending machines. The shark is an IMPOSSIBILITY for me, but very much possible and far more likely for the Hawaiian. You can’t average out the earths entire human population and start calculating statistical probabilities of very regional situations/scenarios.
I was about to post something along these lines. It's like saying, "Most car crashes happen 5 miles from your house." Well, duh, you are within 5 miles of your house most of the time you are driving.
This was beautifully done
I find life beautiful and at the same time incredibly sad, and sometimes I wish I wasn’t born so that I wouldn’t have to experience all of this and be able to lose it all.

About the shark thing: people on average spend much more time in the vicinity of dogs, vending machines, and hornets than they do around sharks. It would be interesting to see how they would compare when you include factors like this.

I’m probably going to watch every bit of this interesting content now. It’s probable that I’m going into this rabbit hole. The problem is that there’s only so much time and space to fit it in.😂
Is it possible to understand this much about life and no be depressed?
I make 6 figures and I have not been more miserable on my entire life. I wake up do the same thing everyday. Is literal groundhogs day, I don't even keep track of days or dates anymore. Wake up, eat, go to work 12-14 hours, eat, shower repeat.... I need a minimum of 8 hours of sleep if I work 12 to 14 hours that only leaves me 2-4 hours a day outside of work Which is about what it takes me to eat and shower every day, Then I go to sleep and repeat. I used to have fun, Do stuff outside of work, Have a life but I just don't have the energy anymore I cant operate on 4-6 hoirs of sleep like I used to in my 20s and 30s. It hits different when you get in your mid 40s. In fact I quit my 6 figure job because I was happier when I had last money.... Then I realized I can't survive on less money....
I'm very sorry to hear that. I can relate because I'm 46 and it's definitely impacting my health overall. We don't have the same energy as when we were younger. What I recommend you do is during the little spare time that you have that you focus on maybe a passion of yours. I know it sounds silly but over time you will build a network of people that share the same passion which in turn, our economy always creates new opportunities every single time. It's actually hard to find a space that wouldn't follow that law. Even in art for example you could end up working for an art gallery. In sports you could be a coach. In IT you could be entering a new startup and so on and so forth. Don't let this beat you down my friend. Keep your chin up and thank you for sharing.
You can't survive on less than 6 figures?
I find it paradoxical that when you're a skilled driver, the presence of a police car behind you can make you anxious and lead to poorer driving, ultimately resulting in being pulled over due to the initial nervousness about getting pulled over
Copying comments again?
I spent twenty years in school but i loved it. I got to learn so many different things. Now that I fully graduated I kind of hate it and love it. lol I love it because I don’t have to think so hard, and I hate it because I don’t have to think so hard. So I truly get it.
You dont sound very bright for having thought hard and still sound the way you do.
You sound like someone that hasn't even finished school. Like the virgin talking about all the sex they've done. Lol
@@silentsmilez503 you just didn’t GET what I was saying, obviously. Lol dork
just go to school again, learn more
This video is build that you can only understand it when you are completely baked, otherwise the constant topic change just throws you out faster than you gf when her parents arrive.
1. The fear of flying in plane and meeting an accident more than getting killed in car accident or bike accident is because chances of if something happened in airplane means certain death while in car crashes and bike crashes people still survive if i lt comes to worst as amputed.
There are significantly more vehicles on the road, than planes in the sky, with many drivers and motorcyclists who, despite having passed their driving tests, lack proper vehicle-handling skills, as opposed to pilots who have undergone more rigorous training and assessment.
For the Alien Paradox, my physics teacher said, that maybe aliens have been here and just said we aren’t worth it, not intelligent enough. Who said we have to notice when highly developed beings come by? I mean there could be way more intelligent beings than us
30ish minutes in he started talking about concepts he mentioned earlier, although it felt a bit redundant, it was interesting to him hear him mention the Pinocchio 'paradox' and later have him talk about it for a bit
Nice video, i really enjoyed the segment of breaking down how much 'free' time a person has in their life time, especially the latter half with the more positive tone!
Holy shit. This just made me feel like I need to do and get more out of this thing called life
I was so captivated I watched this whole and even went back to understand it. I honestly think this gave me a better outlook on life. Do I wanna study to be an engineer because it’s high paying or do I want to be an engineer because it’ll be something I’ll enjoy. That’s something I wanna think about
What kind of engineering 🤔
@@christopherleubner6633 still deciding. I’m in between mechanical and biomedical
@HoodieSardine ah biomedical has lots and lots of room for growth. Making assistive devices would also be quite rewarding too. One thing I would like to do would be engineer biocompatible grafting materials so tissue could bind seamlessly with metal, ceramics, or even other biological tissues. For example making a cermet (metal ceramic composition) dental implant that the gum and bone both grow into forming a secure bond that will last a lifetime. 🤔
@@christopherleubner6633 I had considered things like prosthetics. Or even something psychological like different forms of therapy with electronics
Creation is beautiful and the fact that there is a likelihood that something you helped create will help humanity for decades or even centuries maybe...
The paradox of life is that we live so many days we can't remember them all but we should remember waking up and looking forward to going to bed to wake up to create more memories before we all take the big nap.
